The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is on again this year in Las Vegas. It is always fascinating to learn what is new in the world of technology and what trends are popping up and going away. As usual, television sets are getting bigger with better screens, the competition to create automated cars is heating up, augmented reality is overtaking virtual reality in creating a new digital environment for people to explore and wearable technology is finally working out its niche in healthcare.

Of all of the many incredible gadgets shows at the CES 2015 show, Avegant’s Glyph virtual reality headset is among the more intriguing. But as we continue into the early stages of genuine VR, it is more about design than function.

The Glyph is most fascinating due to the way it looks: like a pair of headphones. A big pair, yes, but stylish enough to compare in look to the inexplicably popular Dre Beats.

News is continuously pouring out of CES 2015 about the latest and greatest to be released this week. One that has really gotten tongues wagging is the Walkman ZX2, though it has to do more with its price tag than its features.

The device itself is incredibly high end. It features an endless number of components that were hand picked for their quality, and the design improves on the less impressive ZX1 with its sleek casing and etched buttons along the side.

If anyone has so far had a big day at the CES 2015 conference, it is ASUS. While LG showed off their Flex 2, and NVIDIA unveiled the Tigra X1 and their auto-piloting car products, ASUS has shown off a full five new products: the ZenFone 2, ZenFone Zoom, and three Transformer Books.

ZenFone 2 and ZenFone Zoom

First up are the two new smartphones in the ZenFone line. Just like the LG Flex 2, both are curved. But the design is more subtle, with rounded corners and a gentler and smoother bend.

Sony has announced at CES 2014 that an upgraded version of the Xperia Z1 smartphone called Xperia Z1S will be available in the U.S. from January 13th. This is good news, because Xperia Z1 has made a huge splash in various countries around the world.

The announcement came during the CES 2014 conference held in Las Vegas, and has been well received by tech junkies keeping a close eye on the event. Fans of Sony will remember that it was during previous CES events that models like the Xperia Z were shown off. Though predecessors didn’t gather nearly as much buzz as the Z1S already has.
